1. Understand, this is the difference between Zig-zag and Straight Automatic Transmissions
Didi explained, for a straight transmission, there will be a release button on the transmission lever. This is used so as not to go too far or shift when shifting gears so as not to damage the transmission system.
“If it’s straight, there needs to be a release mechanism on the lever, so that when it goes into R gear (without using the release) it can’t. Because if you force it in, it can damage the transmission too,” said Didi.
When you want to shift gears, in addition to your foot, you must step on the brake pedal, you must also press the button. Thus the new transmission lever can be shifted, especially from position P to D which must pass through R.
